Isn't that exactly what PageRank was designed to handle? None of these spammer sites should have any actual positive reputation.

Generation III+ reactors are orders of magnitude safer than everything else that was built before the turn of the century. China is actually leading the charge right now, with AP1000 reactors under construction. One of the plants just went

Maybe it's naive, but I always thought that Medicare played a big role in our inflated healthcare costs. Think about it: the number one demographic using the system has most/all their expenses covered by an entity that doesn'

Switched to DDG for my defaults over a year ago now. Still occasionally have to append a !g to my search, and Google Maps is still unmatched, but for run of the mill searches it's been working out. Google lost my trust, so if I can avo

Nothing's "wrong" with it, but I have yet to find one that allows me to read more headlines in a shorter time than Live Bookmarks.

arrrr... what they don't realize when they review their telemetry data is that most people that use this feature have turned off sharing telemetry data. Combine that with the fact that they haven't advertised the feature in the pa

Is this the version that kills Live Bookmarks? Some of us FF old-timers are hopelessly reliant on these things, and it's, as far as I have found, the fastest way to quickly scan lists of headlines from all your favorite sites at once.

Firefox survives in spite of mismanagement and misapplication of resources from the top down. For example, do they really need a lush waterfront office in San Francisco?

Right up there with Einstein, Bohr, Tesla as one of the most brilliant humans to ever live. Learning about Hawking radiation for the first time forever changed how I looked at this thing we call existence. Thanks, Stephen.

This doesn't seem like it should be built in at the browser level. The brower's job should be to process requests and render webpages as quickly as possible. If a user wants to intervene in that process, that is their prerogative,

There's a Facebook group for you if this triggers the warm fuzzies: https://www.facebook.com/groups/297526060414740/ I also got started in programming during the "AOL Prog" era. Good times.

Say what you want about the politics, but it's inarguable that Comey, whether he wanted to or not, had become a partisan lightning rod for both sides. The unbiased credibility of the FBI was at stake with Comey at the helm, and this is

"don't bother the user" Failing on that one for me. I hover close to the storage limit, and I receive constant notifications from the software about it. No option to "leave me alone" in the settings.
